Take Cover is a 2024 British action thriller directed by Nick McKinless, featuring Scott Adkins as Sam Lorde, a seasoned sniper contemplating retirement after a mission results in unintended collateral damage. Persuaded by his superior, Tamara (Alice Eve), to undertake one final assignment in Frankfurt, Sam and his spotter, Ken (Jack Parr), find themselves in a luxurious all-glass penthouse—a setting that soon transforms into a perilous trap. As they settle in, they are ambushed by a rival sniper from a neighboring building, forcing them into a tense battle for survival with minimal cover.

The film intensifies as Sam and Ken employ inventive tactics to navigate the exposed environment, using everyday objects to shield themselves from the relentless assault. The narrative delves into themes of trust and betrayal, particularly as Sam grapples with the moral complexities of his profession and the realization that their predicament may be orchestrated by those they once trusted. McKinless effectively utilizes the confined, transparent setting to heighten suspense, delivering a gripping experience that explores the psychological and ethical dimensions of life as a hired assassin.
